The 1st FUTURE SKY SAFETY public workshop “Future Sky Safety: a Joint Programme for Aviation safety” was held on the 8-9 March, 2017 in Brussels, at Eurocontrol Headquarters.
The event consisted of a 2-day workshop aimed at discussing emerging safety issues and trends and providing update on the latest research developments. First, the workshop opened with an overview of the institutional safety projects coordinated by the European Research Establishments in Aeronautics, provided by EREA. Later on, across the two days, five technical sessions explored key topics such as:
- Reduction of runway excursion;
- Total aviation system risk prevention and mitigation;
- Reduction of the likelihood of organisational accidents;
- Improvement of pilot performance and reduction of human errors;
- Mitigation of risk of fire, smoke and fumes in modern cabins.
Future Sky Safety’s Project Managers chaired the discussion, while renowned external speakers gave presentations on each topic. Speakers included members of the industry and SMEs (Abbink Aviation Consultancy, Airbus, EasyJet, ONERA, Safe-Runway GmbH, Thales), research centres (CSEM, DLR, INCAS, London School of Economics, NLR, University of Lille), and institutions (EASA, ENAC, Eurocontrol, INEA, NASA).
Finally, the workshop was complemented by a poster session revolving around these topics, hosting posters by projects such as RETINA, P4, P5 and P7.
On the occasion of this workshop, Future Sky Safety printed a handout describing the work performed by the different projects, highlighting the results they achieved and the contribution they brought to the aviation safety research. The Future Sky Safety handout, along with the presentations given during the workshop as well as the posters displayed, can now be found below in this page.
Future Sky Safety would like to thank all who attended the workshop and who helped to make it successfull! We hope to meet you again at our next public workshop, to be hosted in 2018 to spread the final results achieved by Future Sky Safety.
